Galaxy Rotation Curves and Universal Scaling Relations: Comparison between Phenomenological and Fermionic Dark Matter Profiles

A. Krut et al.

Summary: In this study, the maximum entropy principle is applied and the fermionic nature of DM particles is considered to compare different models in explaining galactic observables. The radial acceleration relation and MDAR are well explained by all the models, but fits to individual rotation curves show that cored DM halos are statistically preferred over the cuspy NFW profile. Different physical principles justify the flat inner-halo slope in the most-favored DM profiles.

Reshaping our understanding on structure formation with the quantum nature of the dark matter

C. R. Arguelles et al.

Summary: We study the impact of the quantum nature of dark matter particles on the nonlinear structure formation in cosmology. Unlike cosmological N-body simulations, we utilize a thermodynamic approach to analyze the self-gravitating fermion systems, where dark matter halos achieve a steady state by maximizing a coarse-grained entropy. This approach provides insights into crucial open questions in cosmology, including the mass and nature of dark matter particles, the formation of supermassive black holes in the early universe, the nature of intermediate mass black holes in small halos, and the core-cusp problem.

Gravitomagnetic Interaction of a Kerr Black Hole with a Magnetic Field as the Source of the Jetted GeV Radiation of Gamma-Ray Bursts

J. A. Rueda et al.

Summary: We demonstrate that the gravitomagnetic interaction between a Kerr black hole and a surrounding magnetic field generates an electric field that accelerates charged particles to ultra-relativistic energies. This mechanism allows stellar-mass black holes and supermassive black holes to contribute to ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays.

Black holes at cosmic dawn in the redshifted 21cm signal of HI

I. F. Mirabel et al.

Summary: The first stars and black holes formed in galaxies at Cosmic Dawn (CD) are not observed yet. However, theoretical models predict that the indirect insights of these cosmic objects can be detected through an absorption signal in the 21cm line of atomic hydrogen. The recent observation of such an absorption signal by the EDGES experiment has sparked significant research. Various models have been proposed to explain the origin of this absorption signal, including the existence of an additional cosmic radio background (CRB) from black hole jet sources. The discovery of radio-loud supermassive black holes in high-redshift quasars also suggests the presence of a CRB component. By analyzing the EDGES absorption signal, researchers have found that rapidly growing intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) are the only astrophysical radio sources that can explain the observed signal. These IMBHs dominate the mass density at cosmic dawn, indicating that they are formed and growing faster than stars. The highly redshifted signals from these IMBHs can potentially be detected by future space missions.

The formation of the first quasars: the black hole seeds, accretion, and feedback models

Qirong Zhu et al.

Summary: By conducting zoom-in simulations on black hole seeds in star systems, it is found that abundant gas supply and efficient angular momentum transport through gravitational torques are crucial for black hole accretion. The final black hole mass depends on the seed mass and radiative efficiency, and seeds with a mass of at least 10^4 solar masses can rapidly grow to become supermassive black holes in both thin and slim disc accretion models.

Turbulent cold flows gave birth to the first quasars

M. A. Latif et al.

Summary: This study reveals that haloes formed at the convergence point of cold accretion flows can create massive black hole seeds without the need for ultraviolet backgrounds, supersonic streaming motions, or atomic cooling. This simple and robust process ensures that haloes capable of forming quasars by a redshift of z > 6 produce massive seeds.

Hinting a dark matter nature of Sgr A* via the S-stars

E. A. Becerra-Vergara et al.

Summary: The motion data of S-stars around the Galactic Centre gathered in the last 28 yr suggests that Sgr A* hosts a supermassive compact object close to 4 x 10(6) solar masses, not a traditional black hole, possibly related to a core-halo distribution of dark matter termed "darkinos." By using astrometry data of S2 and G2, the alternative nature of Sgr A* as a dense core of darkinos is confirmed and extended.

On the formation and stability of fermionic dark matter haloes in a cosmological framework

Carlos R. Arguelles et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the core-halo structure formed by dark matter fermions is stable and extremely long-lived, able to explain galaxy rotation curves and mimic central black holes. For a certain range of particle masses, core-collapse only occurs under specific conditions in the given cosmological framework.

Luminosity of accretion disks in compact objects with a quadrupole

Kuantay Boshkayev et al.

Summary: This study investigates the circular motion of test particles in the gravitational field of an axially symmetric compact object described by the q metric. Orbital parameters of test particles on accretion disks are calculated, along with an exploration of the radiative flux and spectral luminosity. Results are compared with those of Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes to determine potential differences in observational accretion disk spectra.
